HiirUin Heath NKA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NBA) — Wherever you live, you oayht to l>e ahlc to buy a house for $0500 or less and pay for It at the rate of $43.50 n month, or le.ss. That payment should cover interest and amorlUa- tlon, taxes, and bolh mortgage and hazard insurance. There is one hitch. You've got to revise your pre-war ideas of wlial a $5500 hoiiic is like. "There are no white rabbits to be pulled out of a hat." says Howard Lcland Smith, technical dirc:fcr ot the government's Economy Housing Program. "An economy house demands careful. Intelligent planning. It demands conservation of materials, with room dimensions that will permit use ot standard materials without much cutting on the jou and without wnste. It demands conservation ol labor." All over the United StaUs, from coast to coast, In big towns and small, in every type of climate, private builders have been providing small homes for le.ss than $6500. They havo done it on their own. without government help. Now. in an effort to cncouraxe the building of homes that the av- crge worker can afiord. the Housing and Home Finance Agency und tha Federal Housing Administration have studied the plans and figures on a lot ol such houses. NBA Service has ai.alyied the specifications. Prom these studies it is possible Co say. quite positively, what you can count on getting for $0500 or less in iv house ol your own. Selling prices, carrying charges nnd other details vary. The houses look a bit different on the outside and. at fust glance, the arrangement of rooms seems different. But through them all, from $3995 in Ypsilnnti, Mich., to $6000 in Baltimore or $6500 in Evansvillc. Ind, .here'Is an astonishing sameness to hat you can gel in this minimum- rice good house. It will huve lour rooms. Probably will be on one floor—though tha 4300 ho\tss at Smlthtown. L. I., lias attic that might be finished ter into a couple or small rooms: id . the Baltimore house,' by mnges that would add under 1000, could probably be given anther room upstairs. It will be a frame house, conven- orml in' appearance, built on the te. It will have an asphalt root in olid or blended color, fire resist- nt and economical. Exterior walls will consist of gypsum board or vood sheathing over wood studs vith either asbestos or wood sid- ng. Probably the interior walls wil be of gypsum board, except lor som Laurie Logan, 40 acres In Section 20-15N-10E, $6,382. Henry J. Qrlmmelsman, Bishop ol the Catholic Diocese of Evansville, Ind., and sole trustee of St Vincent Orphanage of Vincennese, Ind., and Clarence F. Witting to J. C. Ellis. Sr. and Mattle H.

Faught to Elnora Austin, correction of a previous deed covering 5.82 acres In Lot 12, Section lion In the ceiling and walls. $43.50 In Tuscon. The heating system will depend on climate, but in most cases it will be there, burning oil. There will be a gas or cleclric water heater with 20- or 30-gallon tank. Piping may be copper, steel or galvanized, and fixtures will be of enameled iron. There will be no refrigerator or range In the purchase price. This is not a theoretical picture ol a $4000 a $6500 liouse. It Is composite picture of what private builders actually provided during the late months ol 1948 In the cities mentioned, plus Tucson. Ariz., Columbia, S. C.; Jackson, Tcnn.; South Whittle!-, Calif. A remarkable feature of the study te the genuine similarity of the floor plans used Independently by the eight contractors—none of whom had been brieled, so lar as can be learned, by anybody or had talked it over with any of the others. By coincidence, this basic Iloor plan is almost Identical with one that Smith had worked out as a theoretical ideal, to give the most hoitse for the least money. The economy house is 24 feet wide and 24 to 28 feet long, a simple box divided into living room two bedrooms, kitchen and bath. Ii climates where heating is neccsary there is a utility room, stolen from and hot Asbestos Cement Siding Lasts for Life of Dwelling Builders declare tn'at high quality siding Is a "must" for a well constructed house, since no material has greater bearing on the exterior appearance and weather pro- .ection of a home. Various types of siding materials are available nowadays. One that is being used more extensively than ever before, both in new construction and in remodeling of old homes, is asbestos cement siding. . Fireproof and weatherproof, It lasts the life of a house with little or no maintenance, ft is manufactured in t\vo types, one with the exposed surface textured in wood grain or tapered line designs and the other with a smooth surface. Either type may be obtained with straight or wavy exixxsed butt lines. The textured type also is available with a staggered butt line. When applied, this style of siding resembles shingles nailed in the thatch method, Asbestos siding is made in variety of pleasing colors. of Section n-UN-11, E, 320 acres, $70,000. Asa and 8.
